SELECT
t1.a,

Research direction
Start by reproducing the nested-array example with the pg_format command shown in the issue and compare its output with the reported indentation. Trace the formatter entry point responsible for nested SELECT and ARRAY formatting, then add or update a regression case for this query. Done means the query's nested clauses are indented consistently without changing other formatting behavior.
